55You can pretend that you have your own private forest with a crew that maintains the trails for you! If you have any thoughts that you'd like to forget, this is the place to go.
My dog was ecstatic and we had a blast watching her run non-stop at full tilt and hunt with abandon. The terrain, trees, and vegetation gave her an excellent workout.
Much work has been done to make the trails easy to negotiate by constant upkeep and by using straw and other materials for great footing.
Despite just finishing record-breaking rain, it was still good to go. It was the day after the atmospheric river flooded Whatcom County (rain stopped yesterday afternoon; flooding and many roads closed) and it was no problem to visit. We luckily don't live near closed roads.
We were removed from everyday suburbia to a green, quiet, private retreat. The many interesting and winding trails over undulating terrain made for constant interest. Traversing the paths and negotiating the various water features keep your attention from wandering.
At the moment there are some pools of water that can be passed through within just several paces. Rubber calf boots worked well. If you don't want to wade, you can go around, or, reverse for just a bit and follow yet another trail. The rest was wet trail covered with leaves. At this time of year and under these current conditions, you'll want boots, preferably waterproof.
What a great escape. We'll be back.C W.

Peaceful mini-retreat with field & woods | Sniffspot
55This was a paradise for our 3 yr old, highly energetic escape artist and her 12 yr old lab brother. We were finally able to take her “out” without fear of escape while she ran laps around the property at full sprints. It was a real treat to have a relaxing walk without all the anxious barking. We will visit often. 🥰
Fun facts: Easy to find with clear directions and signs, fully fenced, secluded, 3 acres of rolling grass and lots of trees to make walking around fun and refreshing. Yes, if it’s rained you’ll want to bring your NW shoes.
I really appreciate the garbage can for easy disposal of waste.
There was a dog visible at the house (approx 100 yards from the fence) however it didn’t bark react to our prevents; our typically reactive dog didn’t pay it any attention.
Well worth the drive! Tricia B.

55Excellent spot! Secure, clean, safe, and such a big great spot for our dogs to enjoy! They had an amazing time running up and down the hill, and we appreciated the detailed instructions and multiple gates for security. Even the toughest escape artist would be secure here. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

FAQ about our Burnaby dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Burnaby area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is Wild Timber Land. The most expensive dog field is Wild Timber Land. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
